I think this was one of my childhood memories where I realized just how powerful comics can be. It’s from Amazing Spider-Man # 248 and the story is titled “The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man.” It’s by two of my favorites, Roger Stern and Ron Frenz.

You Know with that QUEASDA Fellow ruining things at Marvel a great rate rare stories like this one will never be told ever. The man’s a fool for ever re coning what never needing fixing in the first place. Stan Lee himself should have done this recon at least then the book or any book for that said manner at Marvel Comics would be at least bearable to read. I LOVED THIS STORY SO VERY MUCH TOO Styles I WILL AGREE WITH YOU IT A FAV OF MINE AS WELL.
I liked the version that was in the 90s series…
Mainly because of nostalgia.
This still goes down as one of my favs though. Very underrated IMO.
Great story…holds up well to this day.
Story= great, art=meh.
